Gold Standard Ventures Feasibility Study Update and Conference Call

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (NYSE:GSV) (TSX:GSV) ("Gold Standard" or the "Company") announces an update to the base case scenario of the South Railroad Project Feasibility Study and timing of the Feasibility Study conference call. Investors, media and the public are invited to listen to the conference call.

Jason Attew, President and CEO, commented, "The imminent release of the South Railroad Project Feasibility Study is an important milestone for Gold Standard to achieve our goal of becoming the low-cost junior producer of choice in Nevada. Final trade-off study analysis completed by our technical team and consultants indicates that a processing scenario of run-of-mine only ("ROM Only") heap leaching maximizes the value and returns of the project and will be run as the base case in our Feasibility Study (versus the high-pressure grinding rollers ("HPGR") crushing circuit case). Additional benefits of the ROM Only processing scenario include higher free cash flow over the first five years of operations and a faster payback of initial capital, allowing us to focus on exploration programs targeting the expansion of oxide and sulphide mineralization across our +21,000 hectare property package with a stronger pro-forma balance sheet."
